Frequently asked questions

Does cropping delete the hidden content outside the box?

Cropping changes the visible page area. For sensitive information, use hardened redaction or page deletion because cropping alone may not remove underlying objects.

Can I crop all pages with the same margins?

Yes. Apply a crop rectangle to the selected page scope when the source document uses consistent page geometry.

Can crop fix a sideways scan?

Crop controls trim the page boundary. Use Rotate PDF first or afterward when the problem is page orientation rather than excess margins.
